摘要：
A new detector for Rn-222 measurements in gases is described. It is based on the low temperature collection of radon on a stainless steel plate and subsequent counting of emitted alpha-particles using an ion-implanted silicon detector. A very low background of 25 counts/day for the Rn-222 energy window was achieved. High detection efficiency of 32% (2 pi geometry) and the large 65 liter volume of the detector allow radon measurements at the level of 12 mBq/m(3) with 30% accuracy (relative error). Behavior of the alpha-emitting radon daughters born on the cooled stainless steel plate, Po-218 and Po-214, was also analyzed.
